The appointment of the Prime Minister, speaker and the deputy speaker of the NA will also take place during the session, he added.

According to the law, the new session of the NA is supposed to be called before August 15; however, the session cannot be summoned unless a notification has been issued by the Election Commission of Pakistan.

The Information Minister said that according to the election body, the delay in the election results occurred due to the failure of the Results Transmission System (RTS), which an inquiry into the matter would prove.

Earlier, on August 2, the ECP had written to the Cabinet Division asking it to constitute a committee for probing the election results software malfunction.
